Cracking Apart the Heartseed: What’s at stake in Kokoro Connect?

Kylaran writes: "When I picked up Kokoro Connect, I was interested in it because I thought it would be a romance comedy of possibly epic shits and giggles. The setup is perfect: an uneven number of boys to girls, body switching between different genders, and a high school setting. Imagine all the delicious romantic drama that could stem from the characters discovering things about each other that should, and probably would have, been kept a secret. Who needs cross-dressing when you can make things even more confusing? Now that the fourth episode has aired, it’s clear that this isn’t the tale I thought it was going to be."
